Laëtitia disclosed on the October 9 broadcast that she suffers from pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, which has severely disrupted her mobility and routine. She stated that she can no longer engage in physical exercise for more than four months and requires a six-month medication regimen, as reported by soirmag.lesoir.be. Sudinfo.be added that her ongoing health complications frequently force her to seek emergency medical care, noting her reliance on Sébastien during those urgent hospital trips.

I often end up going to the emergency room. I need him to be there.

Sudden Collapse and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for Sébastien

Following Laëtitia’s remarks, Sébastien shared his own diagnosis with chronic fatigue syndrome, describing a condition that stripped him of his energy overnight despite previously maintaining an active athletic lifestyle. Sudinfo.be reported that the champion consulted a world-renowned specialist in Nancy to restructure his daily habits and improve his sleep quality. Both outlets highlighted how the pathology remains widely misunderstood and misidentified by the medical community.

I was at the peak of my fitness almost when it happened to me. And overnight, I can no longer run, I can no longer walk, nothing.
